The Peanut Foot Forum (or more commonly referred to as PF forum) is the discussion area of peanutfoot.net where both fans and staff members come to talk about the site and off topic discussion. The forum has over 150 members (most unactivated accounts).

History
PF forum started on a ProBoards server for some unknown time. Then another ProBoards forum was made for October 4th, 2005 to February 24th 2006. This forum can be found here. Members that still visit PF.net still do the occasional rare post on there, mostly for the sole purpose of annoying Asher.
The InvisionFree forum, that we have today, was created on 19 February 2006. It became the official forum on the 25 February that year, after six days of putting the forum together.
The first members were, of course, PeanutFoot, and Angelblade, now the two Administrators on the forum. The forum was a free zone, granting access to topics to guests, until it was made a members only area, late on in 2006. There have been two successful collabs from the members. They have been Pins and Needles, and Mascot Soup.
Staff
The staff of the forum used to only consist of Peanut Foot as the only Administrator. However, around July of 2006 Peanut Foot went on vacation, and needed another Administrator to run the forum while he was gone. As a result, Angelblade was made an Admin. Over the course of time, El Diablo, punkromance, and JK managed to become Moderators themselves, though punkromance was demoted to a regular member for some reasons, which we'll not being into detail at the moment.
The status of the staff members has sometimes whaned. For instance, during spring of 2007, Angelbade was gone for around a month with no explanation. This threatened his status as an Admin, but he was never demoted. JK was walking on a tight-rope, when he posted a link to an innapropriate website and recieed a warning from PeanutFoot.
Criticism
A very common habit that members of the forum pick up on is off topic discussion. After about two or three pages, the discussion will have died out, and the topic will eventually be locked (or lockdom, as Angelblade enjoys calling it). This is very irritating at times and even though members try to avoid this, it happens quite frequently.
PF Forum Awards
Near the beginning of 2007, Angelblade hosted the 2006 Forum Awards, in which ACTIVE members would vote for other members in a variety of categories. The '06 Forum Awards originally started as a thread that was created by punkromance, where members were encouraged to vote in the thread itself. Since this would take a horribly long time to go through and tally up the votes, Angelblade decided to have the Awards through PM (Private Message). Unfortunately, only around four of the members actually voted, as others were either inactive or inactive through most of 2006. You can see the original post here (you may need to sign up/log in to view the topic). The results were as follows:
- Most intelligent member: Slartibartfast
Slartibartfast is a member that doesn't post on the forum that much. However, when he comments his posts are rather lengthy and detailed.
- Best username: Slartibartfast
Slartibartfast is a reference to a character from the series, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
- Best signature maker: El Diablo
El Diablo makes signatures (aka "siggies") for other members, and they usually turn out to be great.
- Best topic maker: Angelblade
- Most annoying member: Robot Monkey
- Newbie of the year: Zelda
Zelda is El Diablo's sister.
- Coolest member: Slartibartfast
- Hottest member: punkromance
This "category" was created in punkromance's original thread. Punkromance is renowned for requesting an "Intercourse" (of course, that word was not used) board while Peanut Foot was on vacation. By doing so, he earned himself the unspoken title of "Pervert" for quite awhile. However, Angelblade has taken this title from punkromance, as Angelblade's posts sometimes include crude innuendo or other mature content. This creates awkward situations and Peanut Foot almost always censors the post.
- Funniest member: Peanut Foot
- Member you love to hate: JK
- Most pathetic member: JK
- Best staff member: Peanut Foot
- Overall member of 2006: Punky, Angelblade, Slartibartfast, and Peanut Foot all tied in this category.
